Italy's Michele Ortolani captured the 2026 BingoPlus Philippine Asian Development Tour Open with a 16-under-par total over four days at Luisita Golf and Country Club on June 20. The 29-year-old secured his first career title after 194 events since turning professional in 2015.
Ortolani's Back Nine Surge Secures Victory
Ortolani overcame a bogey on the seventh hole by birdieing the 10th, 12th, and 16th holes on the back nine, giving him a one-stroke lead over Chinese Taipei's Su-Ching Hung (15-under) and Argentina's Franco Scorzato (14-under).
"I would like to start by thanking Luisita Golf and Country Club, BingoPlus, the ADT, and the National Golf Association of the Philippines, because without you, I would not be here," Ortolani said. He earned USD 17,500 from the USD 100,000 purse.
Top Filipino Finishers Earn Spots in International Series
Sean Ramos finished as the top Filipino with an 11-under-par total, sharing fifth place. He secured a spot in the 2026 BingoPlus Philippine Open by the International Series in November. "I was feeling confident from the start in my first two holes, but I just got cold again, hot again, then cold again," Ramos said.
Luisita course record holder Clyde Mondilla shot a four-under-par 68 to finish at eight-under total, sharing 11th place. The 32-year-old will join Ramos in the International Series Philippine Open. Angelo Que finished at 10-under but already had an outright berth, giving way to Mondilla.
